After Meng Xin persuaded his brother to send the proton, he returned to Dianchi County and made a deal with Li Su.

To be precise, I went to the northern suburbs of Dianchi County, and the lake view manor on the bank of Dianchi Lake that had just been built for a month.

Who made Li Su live in a miasma in the south, so she refused to live in the city. She had to cut down vegetation on the wild lakeside to create a beach villa. As for the defense in the wild, it would be better to have hundreds of soldiers camp for a long time to protect him, and a resort town might be developed in the future.

When Meng Xin saw Li Su, he pointed at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in front of him and sincerely introduced:

"Governor, this is Meng Jie, the nephew of the last general. My brother did not intend to delay surrendering to the court and share the benefits of trade. He was really worried that other barbarians around him would not know the power of the general invasion of the West. After he transferred the elite troops from his troops into the king's army, he could not resist the invasion of those powerful neighbors who did not return to the king's transformation, but instead made the governor's major event."

Li Su was drinking juice at the time, and Dian Wei was standing next to him. After hearing this, Li Su almost couldn't help laughing, thinking that these Nanman people really wouldn't lie:

Even the unintentional whitewashing of "not intentionally delaying surrender" is a waste of 300 taels here. If he was asked to tell this lie, wouldn't it be enough to just say the second half? The first half of the sentence "I didn't do anything" is simply a waste of time!

However, being willing to study for hostages is generally good, and lying is more amateur and easier to control.

Li Su first took care of Meng Jie: "When you go to Jiangzhou to study for a few years, you will be under the disciple of Gu Yuantan, a great scholar of the great scholar Cai Gong. As long as you know the words and know the benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, you may be able to become a county magistrate."

"Thank you for your praise from the Governor." Meng Jie thanked him politely, and then he became a schoolboy who wanted to study with his peers like Mi Wei (Zhuge Liang had already dropped out of Gu Yong, and Zhuge Liang no longer had any understanding of Gu Yong's classics, so Meng Jie could not catch up with Zhuge Liang's classmate).

Li Su's idea of ​​governing the barbarians was actually very simple. He knew that it was impossible to "change the land and return to the flow" in the late Han Dynasty, and the resignation could not replace the barbarian king. But with one compromise, the senior Han officials could say who succeeded to the throne among the sons of the Barbarian King. This was also a great improvement in barbarian affairs. The barbarian kings would also have a higher acceptance and would not resist too directly. If anyone resisted, it would be an individual phenomenon, and it would be destroyed.

The children of the Barbarian King must read Chinese books, learn Chinese characters, and speak Chinese language before they can be inherited. It takes several generations of people to gradually turn them into Chinese successfully.

So in this life, Meng Huo must not be the overlord of the country. He must be Meng Jie, the brother who was originally going to become the "Hidden Wan'an" and sent "Saya Yunxiang".

Moreover, the Southwest Yi was also the Chinese nation in later generations, and they were all farming people rather than nomads. They were not afraid that the "rogues have culture" would become stronger and would cause harm after their sinicization. Sooner or later, they would be completely integrated with the Han people.

Mengchang did not have the knowledgeable traitors and strategists at the level of the "Bank of China" around him, and he could not expose the "long-term harm" of Li Su's method, so these barbarian kings Li Su were determined to be.

Li Su ordered the followers around him to take Meng Jie away first, and turned around and reward Meng Xin: "Since the court is willing to recognize your rule, he will naturally directly grant your identity as an official position in the organization, so don't establish his own name in the future.

The day before yesterday, I had just sent a letter to the general in the west, and promised to set up the county towns of Kunming Yi and Ailao Yishiguan on the basis of the existing counties of Jianning and Yongchang. The current plan is to abolish Guchang County and merge it into Dianchi County, and set up "Kunming County" on the north bank of Dianchi Lake west of Guchang County.

Meng Xin, thinking of you taking the initiative to surrender and persuade Brother Ling to do his best, I will order you to be the magistrate of Kunming County. In the future, you can also "refer" several sons and nephews to report to the prefect and governor step by step. The court will choose his wise men to inherit this position."

The county magistrate is only available in a large county with more than 5,000 households, which is equivalent to a county at the same level as the county magistrate. Moreover, this county magistrate can still "pass the throne of father and son". Although it can be managed by the specific son, the government can manage it, it is also very good.

Meng Xin originally had no right to inherit tribal positions, everything belonged to his brother's branch, and in the future he would only have his nephew's share. At this moment, he was hit by the joy of sand mixing with sand, and he quickly knelt down to thank Li Su for gratitude.

It’s better to have a big county. Are there only a few counties for the so-called "barbarian kings"? The largest one is only one county, which is worth it.

Meng Xin was so arrogant that Li Su had an idea: "Governor, in fact, the last general felt that you might as well send troops to completely wipe out Gao Yi, the ungrateful guy as soon as possible. The reason why my elder brother was afraid of Ailaoyi's advantage, and the reason why Ailaoyi was not afraid of your warning of surrender was that after E Shun surrendered you, Gao Yi refused to listen to E Shun's advice, and you did not send E Shun as the pioneer to destroy Gao Yi.

Baiyi of Ailao saw Gao Yi disobeying you and you were still alive. They were more confident that they were far away from you, so they were not afraid of you. At this time, you had to kill the chicken to warn the monkey! If you were afraid that Gao Yi would lose too many soldiers and generals, my elder brother would send me the five thousand people, and I could borrow them again and join E Shun as the vanguard. Gao Yi drew 10,000 troops and could not withstand our attack."

Just a hereditary county magistrate has made Meng Xin want to take the initiative to help Li Su attack other unofficial tribes, although it must have been selfish, such as hoping to eliminate other strong enemies and reduce competition.

However, Li Su, who had his own plans, could not let such a maid guess what he thought: "Do you think I came here to kill people? How many times have you said that I am here to benefit the people of Nanzhong and be convinced to the Han Dynasty. When I fight, it is beneficial to the people! I don't want to do it for the war that disturbs the people and harms the people.

Gao Yi is so rude, so he naturally wants to kill him, but he is not in a hurry. Before I set off, I thought that this year's mission is Jianning and Yongchang, and Yueli can talk about it after the autumn harvest next year! We should send troops from Yongchang, rather than from Jianwei. However, if Ailaoyi dares to rely on his own risk of resisting my order because I did not kill Gao Yi, then I will destroy the birds who stand out among Ailaoyi to sacrifice the flag!"

Li Su Nan's purpose was very clear, which was to open up trade with relatively rich places in Nanzhong. Yongchang County has a total population of more than 1.5 million Han and barbarians, while Yueli only has more than 400,000 people, and Liubi is only 200,000. More importantly, to win Yongchang, we must try to develop a maritime trade route to remove the country of Sinhuo and find some species exchange dividends from this era.

If an expedition team can discover Indian wool cotton or the "Chancheng rice" in the Indochina Peninsula in the future, allowing the rice-farming area in southern China to enter the level of "a year-round double-season rice" in the Northern Song Dynasty, then the hanging will be big.

When rice can only be plowed once a year, the carrying limit of the Han population is 50 to 60 million. The Han and Tang dynasties fell into the Yellow Turban and Anshi Rebellion after reaching this extreme. However, after the Song Dynasty had double-season rice, it directly soared to 100 million people.

On the other hand, the north side of Yueli County is bordered by Shu County and Jianwei County. If Li Suzhen directly attacks Yueli from the northern line, not only will the turbulent Dadu River be difficult to cross, but even if it passes, he will face the terrifying march of continuous mountain climbing in Daliang Mountain.

The core area of ​​Yueli County, Qiongdu County and Huiwu County, were actually located along the Yalong River. Qiongdu is Xichang in later generations, and Huiwu is probably Huili, Panzhihua and other places in later generations. Therefore, in the future, if you really want to attack Yueli's heartland, the best route is to be near Huili, cross the Lushui from Yongchang County north, and then attack along the Lushui.

(Note: Between Panzhihua and Yibin (Yi Road), Lushui refers to the Jinsha River, but above Panzhihua, the ancients regarded the Yalong River as "Lu Water". The main reason was that the ancients made another mistake here that "I don't know which of the two tributaries of a river is the source of the main source". They believed that the Yalong River is the source of the Jinsha River, so they inherited the name of "Lu Water", and instead called the real Yangtze River-Jinsha River "flooding")

In this way, even if Li Su wants to destroy Gao Yi from Yueli, he has to first intervene in Yongchang County and accumulate military rations in Jiandong County. After the autumn harvest next year, set off from Jiandong, enter the Lushui River along the Qingling River, and then go upstream along the Lushui River to sneak attack Huiwuhe Qiongdu.

Of course, this is the military secret in Li Su's heart and it must not be disclosed. He will not tell Meng Xin in advance. Anyway, the destruction of Yueli Gao Yi is just the last thing, and it will not affect Li Su's construction and farming in Yongchang. It is purely for lightning strike to establish a power, showing that Flegg, who "offended the abbot and wanted to run away", must not be misunderstood!

As long as Li Su does not leak, Gao Yi would never have expected that Li Su would attack any warlord from southern Sichuan from the southern line. When he heard that the imperial forces in northern Sichuan would destroy him, they would be wary of the Dadu River on the northern line. Who would have thought that the imperial court would go around a big circle and smuggle Panzhihua from the Yunnan side to hit the chrysanthemums?

Because Li Su was so tight-lipped about the details of destroying Yueli Gao Yi in the future, Meng Xin could only think about it and couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask: "In this way, the governor insisted on pacifying Yongchang first and ignored Yueli, just because Ping Yongchang is more beneficial in trade?

I really can't understand this. In other words, since the governor is to open up the trade route, then the governor needs to be in Yongchang County, where should the barbarian kings and officials submit to the generals in the Western Expedition first? Or, where is the ultimate goal of your trade route?

Li Su waved his hand and asked Dian Wei, the bodyguard, to bring a map of the four counties in Nanzhong. Then Li Su pointed on the map with a familiar road: "I want to open the commercial road from Kunming County to Buwei County, Yongchang County, because on the map, there is a big river in the east and west of Buwei County, Zhoushui (Nujiang) and Cangshui (Lancang River).

In the future, you can go to the Guang Shipyard in Buwei County. It doesn’t take a big deal. It only costs 200 stones or 400 stones, and it won’t overturn the ship when you get to the sea. I brought the merchant shipbuilding patterns of the Mi family, the first sea merchant in the Han Dynasty, and will teach local craftsmen. In this way, you can be vicious in the future, and the benefits will be more than a hundred times!"

Meng Xin was confused: "Can Zhou Shui and Cang Shui flow to the Zhen Du Country?"

Li Su: "I know the geography of the world, don't you believe it? These rivers will not flow directly to the dynasty, but after entering the sea, you can sail to the west for a thousand miles to the dynasty. "

In fact, from the later Burma port city at the mouth of Nujiang River, it would be more than a thousand miles to drive a sea boat to India. However, in the initial stage of development, Li Su had to prevent scaring the locals and put the difficulties simply so that they would have the confidence to start first.

Just like if Columbus hadn't calculated the wrong distance to India and had thought the difficulty five or six times simpler, he would never have the courage to sail to the vast depths of the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Although he discovered America, it was just that Columbus had a chance to do it. If there was no American continent, he would have really gone to India, Columbus would have starved to death and died of thirst on the sea.

Meng Xin bit his lip, looked at the map with a slightly blue face, and said in panic: "In this way, the governors of the counties along the way to Buwei County will personally control it? Will they absolutely not allow anyone who does not return to Wanghua to block the road on this trade route?"

Li Su proudly knocked: "That's natural, but Brother Ling has been surrendered and handed over the hostages, so Brother Ling can continue to send people to serve as the county magistrate of Jiandong. In addition to Jiandong, there are also Jianyu, Bonan, and Buwei, who must be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court."

He said, drawing a line directly on the map, which is the line that the trade route has to pass.

As mentioned in the previous article, Jiandong was later Chuxiong, Jianyu was later Dali, and the last one was later Baoshan. After passing Baoshan, you can enter Southeast Asia from the Nujiang River and Lancang River to do business.

Meng Xin reminded in a complicated mood: "Yuyu County is the old nest of Ailao Baiyi. When Ailao's national election was attached to the country, it was the old capital of Ailao.

Later, they surrendered and rebelled again. After being repelled by the Kunming Yi, who was loyal to the court, the Yongchang County was changed to Buwei. The Ailao Yi, who had no choice but to surrender, went west to cross the Daxue Mountains and built his own Shan Kingdom. The Ailao Baiyi who stayed in Yongchang still took the elm as the root.

Now the governor has not killed Gao Yi to warn Baiyi of Ailao. I am afraid that the governor will send troops to accept the development of the commercial road of Yu Yu and encounter force resistance."

Li Su smiled contemptuously: "The opportunity for your brothers to show off is here. As long as you come back to the story of Kunming Yi in the time of Emperor Zhang, the rewards of the generals of the Western Expedition to your brothers will definitely be far higher than those of Emperor Zhang."

Meng Xin was shocked: "Are you going to do it now? We have just lost thousands of elite soldiers..." :(/

Li Su: "Don't worry about taking action before February next year. I, Li Su, have always given full benefits. In the two or three months of preparation period, in order to show our sincerity, I can first teach you several wonderful ways to enrich the people and strengthen the soldiers. I will send someone to teach you how to cultivate terraces so that the arable land of your tribe can double in the long run.

We will also let the Han agricultural experts teach you how to plant pepper and tea trees by yourself, so that you will no longer be subject to the thin output collected by wild animals. Two months later, if you think these long-term strategies to enrich the people are really useful, and you are willing to be grateful and help me attack Ailao Baiyi in Yanyu County, kill the chief and replace them with those who are willing to cooperate with the court, then we can continue to benefit and win-win.

At that time, we will publicly recommend a descendant of former Yongchang Prefect Li Yong as Yongchang Prefect and mediate the affairs between your Kunming Heiyi and Ailao Baiyi for a long time. The rest will be left to you to recommend officials to decide for yourself."

Meng Xin's eyes turned around, and he felt that he was selling his tribe to help Li Su fight now. The eldest brother was a little unreasonable. He should first see how effective the advanced productivity Li Su Xunuo's promotion was after the promotion was achieved in order to convince the tribe.
